Please discard the last message. I - still can't pass the "splash screen" but it apears that esd is playing some bad trip song; sorry for that comment. I installed FLightGear base + binaries in /usr/local/FLightGear ; I can now execute ./fgfs by itself without having to specify the data directory. But in order to do that i had to unpack fgfs-base into /usr/local/lib ; and now i'm getting " the bad trip song " + some message about missing text file. Some people have reported this on the mailing list; yes.. I better start looking at the previous mailing list posts. The answer is somewhere, in there. I hope. Thanks for everything.
